It's easy to see why Robot & Frank was one of the crowd favorites at Sundance this year. Starring Frank
Langella and set in the not too distant future, the film tells the story of a former cat burglar aptly named
Frank, who begins to develop dementia. Worried about his increasing memory loss and overall health, his son
purchases a humanoid robot to look after him. At first, Frank rejects the good natured robot. But over time, the
two develop a strong and unique friendship. Toggling between Frank's hardened views and the robot's upbeat
personality, Robot & Frank uncovers humor and tenderness as the two rough exteriors come together, battling
age, emotion, and unwanted change. This is human and artificial intelligence coexisting in the most graceful
and meaningful way. A way that would make Isaac Asimov very proud.
